[solved] Submenus not working - PLEASE HELP!

lprintz · Post by **lprintz** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 2:05 pm

Hi guys!

I've used CMSMS dozens of times for clients but this has got me completely stumped!!!

With my latest install (V 1.10.3) I'm getting some very weird things happening with my subpages.

Please look at http://www.gymnasticsvillage.com/index.php

Notice the subpages under 'About'...works fine.

Now look at the subpages under 'Classes'...WTF???

All of these pages use the SAME template and the subpages under 'Classes' are DUPLICATES of the about section!

I'm COMPLETELY stumped and I sure hope somebody can bail me out...fingers crossed!

add {metadata] to your Template, it is missing <base> tag.

lprintz · Post by **lprintz** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 2:17 pm

Thanks so much for your quick reply!

Meta is there and the strange thing is why the subpages work under 'about' but not 'classes' when they're all using the same template?

I've pasted my template below...PLEASE ignore the gross tables...the client didn't want to pay me to bring their site to the 21st century

When i look at sourcecode of http://www.gymnasticsvillage.com/classes/test-1-2.html it is absolutely not the same as your home pages.
So you have something messed up there, either some redirect or what do i know

But my tip is, you have old files from old site on smae webspace, where possibly a folder named /classes exists.

lprintz · Post by **lprintz** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 2:50 pm

You had me excited there for a second! The old site resides with the new so there very well COULD have been a directory named 'classes' but, alas, there is not.

I do see that the code is from the OLD site for whatever reason.

What's really stumping me is why it works under 'about' but not under 'classes.' I purposely duplicated these pages to run this test.

It DOES work when I remove the heirarchy...is there an easy way to remove this? I ran across the heirarchy issue in the past, poured through forum posts and it looks like it's an issue for a lot of people...I actually don't need heirarchy for this site.

Thanks SO much for your help. I really wish I could figure out why it works in one place and not the other though...exact same template!

Sorry but i do not understand you, is it realy so hard to clean up your file mess?
Look into potential .htaccess files where some sort of redirection could be triggered?

By all means, i do not have "magical glass ball" (or whatever it's called) to see what is going on there.
It is not CMSMS Problem but simply your miss-configuration. Disable mod_rewrite for CMS and you will not have to bother wasting "your" time cleaning up and searching what you possibly have setup on your server from old days.

lprintz · Post by **lprintz** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 3:05 pm

Could somebody else out there lend a hand?

It would help if somebody actually READS and UNDERSTANDS my predicament rather than cast insults.

If my files were a 'mess' it wouldn't work under the 'about us' section now would it?

btw - the actual code IS a mess as I inherited old tables, HOWEVER, all of the base stuff was taken from the out-of-the-box template.

Thanks so much!

Take a look at the html source of both pages and you will notice that the sub-pages are obviously NOT generated by CMSms.

Could it be that the subpages are not of type "content" but of type "redirect" or something similar?

lprintz · Post by **lprintz** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 3:12 pm

Howdy!

Yeah...it's weird that it's pulling code from the OLD site and I apologize to the last poster as the dropdowns under 'about' was hidden by the slideshow on the home page so perhaps he wasn't seeing what I was explaining.

If you refresh and navigate to the subpages of 'classes' and 'about'...these pages are DUPLICATES and are using the exact same template.

No idea how or why it would pull code from an old page.

I am completely at a loss!

maybe you want to post the content of your .htaccess file?

I'm not an expert on htacces but are you able to replace its content with the htaccess.txt file you can find in the docs directory?

You can add the 301 redirects later

How about you reading what i actually replied?
And this was not insulting, but asking you to see what kind of file mess is located where CMSMS is located.

What did i refer to?

That there must be some sort of "REDIRECTING"? Sorry but i do not have other explanation about your problem, don't see a problem in your .htaccess, but you might have another one somewhere else, or maybe even setup some kind of redirecting in your Server CP.

I don't see the lines
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

Maybe I overlooked them or maybe they are not important? They seem important to me
